Just another grandstanding stunt, of the type we expect from the Lib-lite Greens.
come on monk stop telling lies the greens are even more left than labor..they have never been in bed with the libs..
your mob jumped into bed with them and always swap pref??....

.. where is suits of course.
Have a look at how the Greens vote in Parliament, cods, and you will see they are just Libs in a green–dyed coat.
Nobody liked abbott’s PPL brainfart. Nobody except the Greens. Why? The Greens’ wealthy inner–city base would have benefitted at the expense of those on lower incomes.
Who voted against the CPRS? Nats, Libs and their bedfellows the Greens.
Hokey wanted to avoid accountability, the Greens were happy to help Hokey remove the debt ceiling. Imagine if the Greens were actually Left, rather than just Left In Name Only, and the debt ceiling remained in place that might just have meant the Libs moderated their profligate spending and the net debt might be rather lower.
Don’t be fooled! The Greens are RW conservatives not much different to the neocon Libs. Just have a couple minor figleaf Progressive policies like marriage equality.
Their present Leader DiNatali has moved the Greens way further to the right.
